Throw momma off the train....and if were reading the same story the mother was dead and her son had this female friend who continued to use the dead mothers credit card ;

I stick to my ruling ....The judge in this case ruled beyond the juisdiction of his authority and unless the credit card was used to buy that \ lottery ticket he cannot rule the winnings illegal:

legal infractions combined does not give a judge

Computerhead- Please go back and re-read the article in its entirety. You are missing some important legal infractions that played a MAJOR part in this judges ruling.

Let me put it to you in kindergarden terms: Johnny stole money from his sisters' piggy bank. Johnny goes and buys lots of candy with it. Momma comes home and finds that Johnny broke into his sisters piggybank. Momma says Bad Deed Johnny, for that you are grounded and have to give all the candy back .

This case should go all the way to the Supream Court ;

The judges Ruling Over-steped his Jurisdiction ;True the woman stole a credit card that was illegal and she should pay for her decession but to strip her of the money was Impropper and beyound the scope of justice ;

returnig the money to the credit card and a jail sentence but not a lottery-ticket because it would have left a trial of reciepts , which in this

LOL ! Since she was on possession of meth, she's probably a drug addict also, so she never would have been able to manage to hang onto whatever was left after taxes anyway.

And what's with the retailer allowing a credit card to be used for lottery tickets? I thought that was pretty much illegal in all states.

If she just would have spent her pocket change on the tickets instead this would not have been an issue.

Instead she is now named and shamed in the media. And prosecuted and jailed. If she used the card in the shop she bought the tickets she got no case.

She continued to use a stolen credit card 2 weeks after winning a million dollars?

Sure hope she never has kids, because stupid like that needs to be out of the gene pool.

A White City, Oregon, woman must turn over her lottery winnings after a judge said she won them illegally.

Prosecutors said Christina Goodenow, of White City, used a credit card that belonged to her then-boyfriend's dead mother to buy a winning $1 million Scratch-It ticket in Oct. 2005.

Goodenow asked lottery officials to keep her win quiet, claiming to be a victim of domestic violence. But police learned of the crime about two weeks later, as Goodenow continued to use the stolen credit ca... [ More ]
